HeartFc Posted March 6, 2013 Report Share Posted March 6, 2013 Greens are indeed a joke of a political party. Would never happen but it would be funny if they were in government. The country would turn into Zimbabwe within a month, we'd probably be killing each other over a can on lentils. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadete Posted March 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2013 Baillieu is a flog anyway, from a family of flogs, only got to where he is because one of his ancestors donated money to build a library at Melbourne Uni    Baillieu is a numbty, not sure how you can fuk it up after how far shit creek labour are/were. Time to vote greens??  This is why people vote for the Greens, just because they are seen as the third option when people dont want to vote for labor or liberals. Do not believe there would be more than 1-2% of people who would vote for the greens based on their rediculous policies. Exactly this,  Baillieu was Premier for the reasons Richard the Lionheart was King of England way back in 1149 because he is:  From the States most Famous Family, From one of the States Richest Families, His Family owns some of the state’s most desired land And cos he is Tall.  The ALP ppl around here like BH know that have been Anti Baillieu from the start and so I honestly happy about him going last night. The guy was pathetic, I actually preferred Brumby to him - At least he was a workhorse who did not leave the office most days at 4pm.  As for the Greens, well 99% of their voters think they are voting for Trees, Koalas, and those nice tasting Dim Sims at Veggie Bar. The reality is they are voting for a party of extreme values – many that when striped of their "Greeny Coating" are reminiscent in their ideological content of Stalinism. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can people like me do my bit to help our farmers rid the world from pest animals. The likes of which eat their chickens and ravage their land?  The ramifications of them being in power is horrendous! - to say the least.  Need to implement the laws of southern USA.  Dukes of YSide FTW!!

Deviant Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 So why would Crean throw his support behind a certain person?  Didn't Crean help Gillard get in, in the first place? I'm gonna speculate that he wanted top job before this election... he has been speaking to Gillard for the past 2 days he said, so she probably doesn't want to give it up...  Rudd promised that he wouldn't challenge her anymore... but Crean is Challenging, and nominating Rudd for leader.  Who knows what happens behind closed doors. If Rudd get the top job, Crean will be 2IC. Crean will be instated as prime minister... The way that Costello should have been!!  /End Conspiracy Theory.

If you're going to go public and call for the Prime Minister to call a spill on her leadership, you need to offer yourself up or have someone else who is willing to fill the roll. You can't call on the Prime Minister and deputy leaders to end their leaderships, and then not offer yourself up or have viable alternative. Otherwise you end up with amateur hour like today, where she called a vote and no-one stepped up to the plate. Edited March 21, 2013 by FB.

HeartFc Posted March 21, 2013 Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 He did offer an alternative. He clearly said he wanted Rudd to put his hand up. He also said he wanted to be deputy. Sure he didn't know that Rudd would pull out but that's politics, he took a huge risk and it fucked up. Rudd didnt want to captain and sinking ship, who would?

cadete Posted March 21, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 21, 2013 (edited) I was not knocking the football club - I was alluding to how the traditional supporter base of the NMFC was ideological in conflict with the political beliefs of Mr Crean's father.  I respect Crean in the way that his a hard working Politician and Party man, in the world of Rudd's and Hockey's it’s a shame that these types are becoming less and less common in Politics. However, at the same time I lost a bit of respect for him yesterday when he turned on one of his own former supporters and noted Creanite in Gillard from the time when he was himself a much higher flyer. I guess it’s hardly surprising given Crean has even changed ALP Factions a couple of times. Edited March 21, 2013 by cadete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He should have offered himself as leader if he was going to ask the PM to step down. Granted, he was hoping for Rudd to challenge her, but it wasn't really organised as such for that to happen when he called his press conference yesterday. So it wasn't a serious alternative.

cadete Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Rumour: Crean was working for Gillard all along, flushing Rudd out and got sacked so it seemed a real challenge. (It would explain his sudden change in his support - And how he hadn't spoken to Rudd.) Unlikely - But not dismissible from my sources.

zave Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 (edited) I have a vague idea of what happened since my dad worked for Crean.  Basically what my dad told me was that the whole situation of Rudd vs Gillard was tearing the Labor party apart, and it desperately needed to be sorted out. Apparently Gillard is a massive dick to Crean. Crean then suggested that Rudd put his hand up to be PM and Crean being his deputy PM with him being able keep Rudd in check. Even though Rudd is hated by many people in the Labor party, he hoped that with him being deputy PM it would sway votes towards Rudd. Unfortunately even with Crean being the deputy, the hatred for Rudd was to still to strong resulting in no one changing their vote and Gillard having more support. Resulting in Crean being sacked because he didnt support Gillard.  Crean knew that it was a risk, and decided to go ahead with it to save the Labor party from falling apart from the disputes of who should be PM.  Thats my understanding of it from my dad.   Edited March 22, 2013 by zave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
